LCFC Pitch Design

I think it's more questioning your reliability as a credible source, rather than the logistics of it actually happening.

Probably because you said it would have 100% happened by now already, so you were already very wrong once.

Just a guess though.

so why has grass design been banned?

mostly is just pattern than can only be seen by the fans and tv cameras
no one is placing adverts in the grass but advertising is no longer a problem except on european club football nights

dont see the problem !

Dublin - I'm not sure what is banned but apparently the diagonal lines make it harder for the linesmen to see offsides?

One for thorneyfox there. All this time it was never incompetent officiating, just groundsmen who can't mow in a straight line.

linesmen ??? jesus you couldn't make this stuff up?

so now linemen need multiple lines across the pitch every 3 feet to help them judge off side ?

what next video cameras on rails down the side of the pitch, like at the olympic sprint tracks

mother of god they get worse

Ok forget the source because in all honesty I'm a little frustrated at being told planning approval had been submitted when it hasn'. So take away whatever truths or untruths I've related and concentrate purely on our owners ambitions and the facts instead.

When they first bought the the club, their aim was to achieve promotion within three years and in the third we won the league. Then when we got promoted and our aim was to qualify for Europe and be a top seven side within five years and in our third season we played in Europe. Next is season number four and we're aiming for European qualification so by year five they will most likely have achieved their goal again.

They've made no secret of their desire to grow this club and extend the stadium and they've bought the hotel on one side of the stadium and recently purchased a huge plot behind the East Stand, large enough for another stadium of equal size so they now own all the land from Aylestone Road along Raw Dykes down the to river. That's fact, not hearsay, they own it and it's been the sight for our fanzone this season.

Now that's prime real estate and they've bought the whole lot so ask yourself why they would want such an enormous plot of land, more than big
enough for another stadium and also ask yourself why they would be allowed to buy it when there would be countless potential suiters queuing up to develop on it?

The simple answer is they've bought it because they want to extend the stadium. It doesn't take rumours just common facking sense.

Yeah apparently that's it, I heard the commentators discussing it against Watfotd. Lino's obviously rely on the lines to judge offside instead of their eyes by keeping up with play.

You know, I've always wondered exactly who would want to be a linesman. I've done a bit of refereeing and running the line in the past (nothing anywhere near professional, just friendly stuff when the situation has warranted); refereeing was relatively easy and quite enjoyable, but being a linesman was an absolute horror. Could barely see anything that was happening, particularly in tight situations where both sides are appealing for a throw-in, and never quite sure whether I should be watching the play or the offside line - which is constantly moving. It really struck me as a dull and thankless job. So I guess I can forgive them a bit for wanting a few helpful lines on the pitch to make their lives a bit easier.

I'm the opposite, hated reffing but always found being lino easy. To me it was about keeping up with play, reading the game and watching for the runs that I would make so it would make sense to have wingers and forwards as linesmen I reckon. Although thinking about it I used to play centre half and full back too so I used to watch for them pushing up and I remember always looking out for the one that played the attackers onside because there was always one. So yeah fitness, reading the game and knowing the positions and movement of those players within those positions. So really unless you've played all across the defence and all across the attack you're not going to really be able to do it properly I wouldn't imagine.
